"Downtown From Behind"
http://downtownfrombehind.tumblr.com
Photography takes all different shapes and forms, and one thing that is so important to defining someone is a particular project or style or aim, something that I still wrangle with and I know a lot of others do as well. And then you stumble upon a project that is so simple, yet so imaginative and encompassing, that you have to stop and take notice.
downtownfrombehind is a photographic series that, as the name implies, captures subjects as they ride their bike through New York City from behind. Bridget Fleming has photographed people riding on some 200+ streets, avenues and lanes in the downtown part of the metropolis. It is a whimsical, romantic view of the city, in my opinion, as these bikes become the departure point for a daily look at the streets of New York. The portrait models are a diverse collection of writers, architects, designers, chefs, etc. that inhabit the city and make it so colorful. So it is a hybrid of portrait photography (although from the rear, which is unique unto itself) and street photography of the less popular avenues of New York. Still, the imagery is interesting, intimate, and charming, and I recommend checking it out. Enjoy.
